Mike, does your wife ride with you? is she afraid of the bikes? I think I agree, this is something she needs to like and want. Of course, you can introduce her to the whole experience by taking her on rides with you, explaining everything, but I think if you ride as a passenger and don't feel the imperious need to go and ride your own bike, well, is not a good start. With my wife is being a very long process. She really want to ride but I guess she still needs to be more self-confident. She started about two years ago, very slowly. After a year of practising in the neighbourhood she took the course, which really helped a lot. She was very confident. So much that decided to sell her suzuki 500e and started riding my NH 750. She stop riding last winter until now, and is having issues getting back on riding. I have learned that I can encourage, but not push her. Is all about patience.
